Good luck defending in court that you shot a man in self defense at 300yards.
Even if you do find yourself in that situation, the gunman isn't going to wait for you to go inside and get your SD rifle so you have a fighting chance.
And to think that you want a rifle that's going to kill not just wound,
I don't think a gunman is going to continue shooting at you if he has just been shot, so that's not really worth considering.
Plus 223 is going to do the job out to 300yards just fine when compared to 308, and it will be less likely to over penetrate and kill your family if they are inside your house.
If you want a SHTF rifle then 223 will do the job fine too, in what survival situation are you going to need to shoot people at over 300yards.
